@bluewinds @Mudlark They've already begun fleeing Argentina, as is tradition for Nazis

@Mudlark I won't guess at a date, but I wouldn't expect this shit to be intact for too much longer

that doesn't mean you shouldn't be wary, doesn't mean you should be suddenly cutting them slack on other issues they have, or pretend their work culture and ethics are flawless, even when it comes to the LGBTQIA+ topics.

But it does feel rough to see colleagues who are 100% well intentioned getting shouted at and hated for no other reason than people perceiving it as hostility, when it really is not what it's intended to be.

I really wish people would come together more. We're in this together

Seeing the whole 'corporate pride is fake' thing going around again, and I have a few thoughts to share on this;

1) those are usually organized by actual LGBTQIA+ allies at those companies, not just empty marketing- but that's my personal experience.

2) This is also the reason why you won't see it in countries which are actively hostile and make it actually illegal to be LGBTQIA+ aligned, not because they're 'selective'.

3) I'd rather have more, than less allies, but that's my personal take.

And have they backed off on their ridiculous demands just because it isn't working for them? No! They are literally out there calling every woman with a belly pooch disgusting while complaining that women won't have their babies.

These contradictions can function when you have women trapped & under control. Without having the control, however, it's all very counterproductive.

I’m sympathetic to Kagi’s dilemma. This company may well provide useful services. And it is impossible to completely avoid engaging with people and companies who do harm in the world; that is our reality.

We can’t always disengage. What we •can• do, at a bare minimum, is think carefully about how we engage, and make wise decisions (as businesses and as individuals) that take into account our indirect impact on the world.

Again, these community concerns merit a thoughtful response.

@terrance_shaw I will now be pronouncing dhh this way

The Internet Bug Bounty program (still paused btw) has cut rewards by up to 75%

The consequence for clicking "No" to "Are you over 18?" prompts should being redirected to a list of books that are banned in their local public schools.

i do think it's funny that any company that wants a huge influx of extremely good engineers could just say "we are not doing ai" on the careers site

@opossum Yeah, that makes it even worse :/

I fucking hate TikTok speak

"dih" just say "dick"

FFS I hate how advertisers have control over language. They do not deserve that power.

Now what the fresh fuck is this, then?

Not today, Satan.

@Sobex https://c2sp.org and my previous posts on Fedi

I've had a few kind folks reach out to see if I'm okay after the whole IETF ordeal.

Folks, I'm fine.

Hell, these days I'm mostly a C2SP contributor.

I'll still work with the IETF or W3C only when I must, but I frankly don't mind being moderated or whatever, since my work is going into specifications not IETF bikeshedding.

C2SP is the future of real world cryptography, not IETF.

@cR0w @ifin I forwarded some of these campaign outreaches (with the DMARC headers in case those are helpful, but they seem to mostly be gmail accounts).

@esoteric_programmer DJB is only pinching a loaf here because his designs didn't get selected for standardization.

He doesn't ring the "it needs hybrid" bell when it comes to, e.g. McEliece. Only ML-KEM and ML-DSA.

I keep getting emails like this, and while it's easily filtered/blocked, I'd rather fuck up their plans too.
